I thought "whitelist" got cancelled for being racist? I distinctly remember being forced to rename everything to "IP Allowlist" and having to rename all my branches to "main" from "master". Jenkins is 3rd party software, so it still has slaves... π
It did, and I was also doing that in some of our software in a previous job. Other terms we had to stop using were black sheep, white washing, and even gorilla.

I wouldn't visit these sites if you paid me. Much less forced me to watch ads.
I wonder which content blocker you're using, because with uBlock Origin (with a fairly aggressive config and custom blocklists) I do not get that "disable adblock" pop up.
Not like I'd visit this site at all, I just tried to see if I could create a uBO filter for you to remove the paywall.
Read as giving them ad revenue allows them to write without doing sponsored articles
Free speech doesn't mean a compelled audience.
Just because you can say it doesn't mean I have to listen.
If youβre trying to get paid based one someoneβs views or clicks, itβs not free.
Reminds me of Microsoft's "1,000,000 PCs can't be wrong" or whatever it was when they started pushing windows 10 to 7 users
wow, the balls of the folk who came up with this π€‘
Makes sense lol
Free speech for corporations and advertisers. For users is the paywall as adblocker. For this screenshot, Memes is a better place.
Free speech also entails how willingly you are to put that speech out there. If you want to cover it with a paywall of any sort, you are most welcome to do that. Keep in mind that free speech and its actions also have consequences. If your content is good enough, people might pay to see it. Free market and all that.
This might be a mildly infuriating moment
